(July 8, 2021) Before WILLIAM PRYOR, Chief Judge, NEWSOM and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:

USCA11 Case: 20-13110 Date Filed: 07/08/2021 Page: 2 of 2

Junita M. Holsey, appointed counsel for Tyrone Middleton, in this direct criminal appeal, has moved to withdraw from further representation of the appellant and filed a brief pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Middleton has moved for appointment of new counsel or for leave to proceed pro se. Our independent review of the entire record reveals that counsel’s assessment of the relative merit of the appeal is correct. Because independent examination of the entire record reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED, Middleton’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED, and Middleton’s motion for appointment of counsel or for leave to proceed pro se is DENIED.
